Question

Write the SLOPE INTERCEPT form equation given the following information * 3 8) through: (2, 2), slope

Answer 1

We have the following two points given:

$(x_1=3,y_1=8)(x_2=2,y_2=2)$

And we want to find the SLOPE intercept form equation given by:

$y=mx+b$

Where m represent the slope given by:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{2-8}{2-3}=6$

And we can find the intercept b using one of the two points given like this:

$2=6(2)+b\rightarrow b=2-12=-10$

And then our equation would be given by:

$y=6x-10$
